How to Pass the NTS Test
1. Accuracy first, speed later
NTS negative impact usually comes from careless mistakes.
2. Translation will decide merit
Most candidates are weak in translation. If your translation is strong, you gain advantage immediately.
3. Improve English sentence structure
Practice converting:
Urdu formal language → clear English sentences
Example:
“عدالت نے درخواست منظور کرلی”
Simple translation: “The court accepted the application.”
Not: “The honorable court has graciously approved the aforementioned petition.”
Simple is better.
